Online Etymology:
chattel (n.)
early 13c., chatel "property, goods," from Old French chatel "chattels, goods, wealth, possessions, property; profit; cattle," from Late Latin capitale "property" (see cattle, which is the Old North French form of the same word). Application to slaves (1640s) is a rhetorical figure of abolitionists, etc.
Slaves were chattel in the ancient world, too.
i love this guy.
great
I have been listening to your lectures, of which I find most interesting. Question: how can all this information be used in todays living conditions?
what do you mean that slavery is a recent concept? During the roman period, slaves were bought, sold, and traded. Their masters could torture them, and the slaves could do nothing.
According to Online Etymology, "chatel" as applied to persons owned entered the English language in the 13th c., being derived from Old French and ultimately Late Latin. Married noblewomen were also chattel of their husbands. See Wikipedia, "Chattel marriage".
@kingbigdawg9 Where can one learn about Assyria correctly?
he's wrong on slavery; slaves in the past were sold, raped, beaten, killed, and robbed of all types of freedom; yes, some slaves in some places in some times were treated differently; but even then they were slaves.
